Personnal Bio:
My husband I have been married for twenty-four years. We have four
daughters, one son, and a grandson. I love spending time with my family.
Raising children is a great gift from God. Right now I have three teenage
daughters still at home. They are so much fun, although there are times…
I grew up in Indiana on a small farm where I spent hours making up
stories to act out. One of my favorite pastimes during school was
daydreaming. Little did I know years later God would use that ability for
something good. I always loved animals, especially cats and horses. One of
my early ambitions was to be a veterinarian until I found out you had to pay
attention in class instead of daydreaming the time away.
When I was twelve, my family took a trip out west. I can still remember
my first view of the Rocky Mountains. I said then I would live near mountains
some day and I do. Living in the desert is great. No snow. Not much rain.
Lots of sun. Beautiful mountains.
My family and I attend a Calvary Chapel Church. Fellowship with other
believers is one of my times of refreshment. Hearing the Bible teaching,
sharing in worship, interacting with other believers, and watching God work in
my life and other’s lives, keeps me energized for Him and ready to serve.
Writing is my passion for God. I believe He called me to do this work for
Him. I love to hear from those who’ve read my books and been touched in
one way or another by them. Thank you to all of my readers.
God’s verse to me for my writing: “Then the Lord answered me and said:
“Write the vision and make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it.””
Habakkuk 2:2
